Video shows authorities using a tranquiliser dart to safely sedate the zebra, which was roaming through an alleyway.
They then placed a net under the zebra and lifted it onto the back of a truck to take it away.
The zebra was on the loose for three hours and was also caught on camera trotting through traffic on a busy city road.
